WHY TEST YOUR WATER? Water absorbs dissolved minerals, organic compounds, and micro-organisms as it moves through the air and soil into surface and ground water supplies. Unacceptable materials can enter your water supply by natural means and through man's actions.
Some contaminants will change the appearance, taste or smell of water. However, many of the most toxic contaminants do not provide sensory clues. Water testing may be the only way of determining if water is contaminanted and the degree of contamination.
Public water systems ensure the safety of the water they deliver. Private well owners are responsible for ensuring the quality of their drinking water. Testing for every possible contaminant is expensive and usually unnecessary. Instead, you should perform regular tests for "contamination indicators", and select hazards.
